SVG to TIFF conversion - Impact in Image resolution

[ranjith328]

Hi There,

I am using Magick.Net to convert SVG files (Created using adobe illustrator) to Multipage TIFF. (i will be editing some text in svg using my solution)
Unfortunately eventhough i has created the SVG (vector) texts, after conversion to tiff files, the resolution is degraded and the quality is reduced.
Is there any way to keep the same resolution of vector after conversion.

Can you please help.

In Magick++ I use :

Code: Select all

    image.resolutionUnits(Magick::PixelsPerInchResolution);
    image.density(Magick::Geometry(dpi,dpi));

To set the desired output of the SVG, You can probably find something similar in Magick.NET.

Hi.. i have already used similar steps in the code.

And your ImageMagick version is built against librsvg?

hi - am using Magick.net-AnyCPU and not ImageMagick component

Can you post the code you tried so far?

p.s. Magick.NET uses librsvg.

Hi.. below is the piece of code that i used to convert SVG to TIFF / PDF
I tried output format with both TIFF and PDF

/// <summary>
/// Convert SVG file to file of format specified
/// </summary>
/// <param name="svgFilePath">Path to input svg file</param>
/// <param name="outFormat">Output graphic format specification</param>
internal static MagickImage ConvertSvg(string svgFilePath, MagickFormat outFormat)
{
var mgKimage = new MagickImage();

var mrs = new MagickReadSettings
{
Format = MagickFormat.Svg,
ColorSpace = ColorSpace.Transparent,
Density = new MagickGeometry(ConfigHelper.ImageResolution)
};

mgKimage.Read(svgFilePath, mrs);

mgKimage.ResolutionUnits = Resolution.PixelsPerInch;
mgKimage.Format = outFormat;
mgKimage.BackgroundColor = new MagickColor(Color.Transparent);

return mgKimage;
}

What is the value of ConfigHelper.ImageResolution?

What is the value of ConfigHelper.ImageResolution?

<add key="imageResolution" value="450" />

Could you share an svg file that produces this odd behavior?

Could you share an svg file that produces this odd behavior?

i am unable to attach the file. instead i have uploaded the file to

http://speedy.sh/pCmCe/kx1o5sdm.svg

[ranjith328]

Hi .. were you able to download the file ?

Hi .. were you able to download the file ?

also another point which we noticed is that, after conversion from SVG to tiff with dpi set as 450, the file size is growing to more that 120MB.
is that expected or an odd behavior ?

[magick]

From the command-line we get:

• convert -density 600 kx1o5sdm.svg -resize 25% -compress zip kx1o5sdm.tif

The kx1o5sdm.tif image is 3MB.

And with the following code I get a 19MB file with Magick.NET that is perfectly readable:

Code: Select all

using (var mgKimage = new MagickImage())
{
  var mrs = new MagickReadSettings
  {
    Format = MagickFormat.Svg,
    ColorSpace = ColorSpace.Transparent,
    Density = new PointD(450)
  };

  mgKimage.Read(@"C:\kx1o5sdm.svg", mrs);

  mgKimage.ResolutionUnits = Resolution.PixelsPerInch;
  mgKimage.Format = MagickFormat.Tiff;
  mgKimage.BackgroundColor = new MagickColor(Color.Transparent);
  mgKimage.Write(@"C:\test.Tiff");
}

Are you using the latest version of Magick.NET? It looks like you are using an older version. The most recent version uses a PointD for the density.
